Tarsem Singh’s ‘Dear Jassi’ to Open Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (EXCLUSIVE)
Tarsem Singh’s ‘Dear Jassi’ is set to open the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, which is also launching an industry support section.
IFFLA will screen two episodes of the Riz Ahmed-produced documentary series “Defiance: Fighting the Far Right,” which shines a light on the protest movement led by young British Asians in the late 1970s and early 1980s to oppose anti-immigrant rhetoric and assaults. “The eclectic lineup covering most of the vast and diverse South Asian regions, including the diaspora, is directed by a majority of incredibly talented first-time filmmakers debuting with their works. The lineup organically reveals some of the themes such as solidarity and resilience, tender love, and familial violence, inherent to the South Asian communities around the globe,” said IFFLA’s artistic director Anu Rangachar.
